Biography
Mahbere-Widam was born in 900 from the House of Solomon, a dynasty of Miaphysite Christian Ethiopians, and he became king of Axum in 916. Mahbere-Widam was the last ruler of the Solomonids to preside over Axum before 960, when the Beta Jewish queen Gudit and an army from the Duchy of Semien descended into Axum. They destroyed Christian churches and monasteries, and Gudit killed Mahbere-Widam in battle, ending Solomonid rule over Axum. The house of Gideon would rule until 1117.
